Singapore. So finally, I’ve left Australia again albeit only temporarily this time around. I’ve just stepped out of the freezer that is Changi airport and am sitting happily in the sauna that is a Singapore night in July, slowly thawing. I can feel weight and stress and my pre-occupied mind all fading away. I’m beginning to remember something I’ve forgotten over the last 2 years: a part of me, a very large part of me that has been dormant. Humid, tropical air, unfamiliar smells, call me back to my other self. And at the same time I’ve felt sadness. As the plane lifted into the sky above Melbourne, my heart sank at the thought of leaving, even for a few weeks. All the goodbyes have heightened the sense of separation, departure. I almost felt for a moment or two that I’d rather have stayed! Perhaps, at last, it’s a sign I’m finally making a place home :)
A couple more hours and I’ll be on my way to Cambodia!
